Hello,
I've asked on different forums, and I have not received any answers and I wish to have some. So I wish to purchase Frieren on Blu-ray. It'll be my first anime I'll purchase ever. I know it's in Japan. Some of the volumes are anyway. I was just wondering when new anime gets released in other countries.
This is because I don't know if the Japanese version has English subtitles or dubbed and I'm not fluent in Japanese unfortunately, so it'd be a waste of money.
I appreciate the helpful replies!

Crunchyroll has rights to the series. Series also just finished its simulcast https://www.crunchyroll.com/frieren-beyond-journeys-end. When it comes Blu-ray, it's Crunchyroll or no one else. It's also one of the highest rated series in recent years, so I think there is a good chance Crunchyroll will release it on Blu-ray.

The good news is Madhouse created it and Crunchyroll licensed it here in the United States. That usually means an American Blu-ray release down the line but may not come out until late 2024/early 2025 here if I had to guess.

All newer anime have a Blu-ray release and it's already available in Japan. And yeah it's very popular and highly rated (as it should in my opinion), and I do know that it finished airing in Japan and Crunchyroll. It finished last Friday. I just want to buy the Blu-rays or DVDs when it comes available.

True. Crunchyroll licensed it here in the UK as well. I really hope it's late 2024. Christmas and everything you know? But we'll have to wait and see!

It will be released on home video in Germany via Crunchyroll. It's planned for winter release.
